you know whats also really good is kale or collard greens sauteed with onions, any white beans, sausage (I like it with sliced kilbasa) and a small ammount of BBQ sauce to cut the bitterness.

Kale leaves are really tough. I add it to my juicer (yes, a great remover of fiber, but SO EASY and delicious!!), which manages to extract an impressive amount of juice from a pound of kale, and dump all those beautiful vitamins into my usual apple-ginger-carrot juice. AND it’s yum…

Here’s another idea: chop your strips in thirds and plop in fried rice, along with those eggs, scallions, and ham (yes ham!)

Camille, I eat a lot of kale. A. Lot. When summer comes and our CSA share starts including copious amounts of it, I cook it up. It’s not my absolutely favorite veggie, but you’re right that your body tells you, “more, more!” I often sautée it with olive oil and garlic and some salt (which chemically cuts the perception of bitterness a bit).

Recently I felt like I was all done on kale ideas. I couldn’t bear another sautée…even if I used it as a filling to a wonderful tart with a salty cheese dotting the top. So I made baked kale chips with hefty doses of smokey paprika and ginger. Delightful, uses very little oil, and declared by my 3-year-old to be magic. I suppose with those healthy properties, it *is* magic.
